Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 31 Oct, 22:50 · Archive

Light showers are expected for Halloween in Nebraska, with a stronger weather system bringing heavy rain and potential severe weather on Monday.

Light showers and drizzle will continue through Saturday evening and Halloween in Nebraska, with very little rainfall expected — less than a tenth of an inch. Temperatures will remain above normal for late October, hovering in the mid-to-low 60s. Trick-or-treaters can proceed with their plans with an umbrella or rain jacket in hand.

The main concern is a strong weather system moving into the region on Monday. Both outlets expect widespread showers and thunderstorms, with the potential for heavy rain and gusty winds. Wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph are forecast across the state. WOWT reports that the Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk for far southeastern Nebraska, with potential severe storms producing hail up to 1 inch and winds exceeding 60 mph. Temperatures will warm to near 70°F on Monday before cooling significantly.

The system will continue into Tuesday with another round of showers and much cooler conditions in the 50s. Both outlets note that drier weather is expected by the end of the week. WOWT reports that isolated flash flooding is possible with all the rain chances.
